I’m pretty attached to my laptop because I keep a lot of semi-important things on there. I bet a lot of you do the same. But consider this: If someone pointed a gun at you and demanded your computer, would you think twice about giving it up? I hope for most of you the answer is no. Sure losing files or a computer would indeed suck, but a gunshot wound would suck even more.
One store clerk in Mexico, however, was faced with this very scenario when a gunman entered the store and demanded his computer. Surprising enough, the store clerk kept his life and his laptop even though the robber managed to fire a single gunshot as he struggled to take the computer. Even more amazing was how calm and collected the clerk was after the gunman fled the store empty handed. Naturally this makes me think this store clerk has been in worse situations than this.
Of course, now I have to wonder what was so important on that laptop that he was willing to take a bullet for it. Perhaps we will never know.
